St Austell & Truro Areas | Full‑Time | Long‑Term & Permanent Roles Available

Are you an Early Career Teacher excited to begin your teaching journey this September?
Looking for a supportive school where you can grow, feel valued, and build confidence in your first year?
Ready to secure your ECT role early so you can focus on finishing your training strong?

Teaching Personnel are partnering with several welcoming primary schools across the St Austell and Truro areas who are now looking to appoint ECTs for the new academic year. Whether your passion lies in KS1 or KS2, we’re here to help you find a school that’s the perfect fit.

This is an exciting moment in your career — and we’re committed to supporting you every step of the way.

What Schools Are Offering for ECTs

Our schools understand what ECTs need to succeed. You can expect:

• A structured ECT induction programme
• Mentorship from experienced teachers
• Time allocated each week for ECT development
• Supportive year‑group partners
• Clear progression routes and ongoing CPD
• A chance to bring your energy, ideas, and creativity into the classroom

You’ll be joining environments where ECTs are genuinely welcomed, not “guinea pigs”.

What the Role Involves

You will:

• Teach a class in KS1 or KS2 (depending on your strengths and preference)
• Plan and deliver engaging, ambitious lessons
• Support pupils’ wellbeing, confidence, and academic progress
• Build positive relationships with pupils, families, and staff
• Create a warm, inclusive classroom environment
• Receive ongoing support from leadership and your ECT mentor

Your voice matters — and your ideas will be encouraged.
